Tom Brady rookie card sold for $1.68 million in Litecoin
A unique feature of cryptocurrencies is that they can serve many roles. For instance, they can be considered as assets, as a store of value, or as currencies. Litecoin is one of the most used cryptocurrencies globally. Point in fact, it was recently used as the payment method for a rare Tom Brady trading card.
Litecoin used in paying for a Tom Brady card
The sporting world's adoption of cryptocurrencies has grown massively over the past year. This is set to continue as more people find uses for digital currencies. Trading card and collectibles marketplace Goldin Auctions announced that it sold a Tom Brady rookie card for $1.68 million. Additionally, the payment was made in Litecoin (LTC), one of the leading cryptocurrencies.Gemini exchange co-founder Tyler Winklevoss tweeted about this, revealing that the auction was made possible thanks to the partnership with their platform. He stated that "Someone just purchased the 2000 Playoff Contenders #144 Tom Brady card for $1.68 million with @Litecoin. This card, known as the "Holy Grail" of the collecting industry, was purchased on @GoldinAuctions through a partnership with Gemini. Onward!"
The rookie card is a rare 2000 Playoff Contenders card. It is considered the "Holy Grail" of the collecting industry due to its rare nature. So far, it is the most expensive collectible item paid for on the Goldin Auctions in cryptocurrency since the platform began accepting digital currencies as payment for its products last month.
Cryptocurrency is changing the collectible world
Goldin Auctions founder Ken Goldin said he is excited by the growth taking place in the industry. "The hobby is undergoing incredible growth, unlike anything I have seen in my 40+ years in the industry. Trading cards and crypto are now two of the most rapidly growing alternative asset classes, and we know there is a lot of overlap between the communities."Clearly, Tom Brady is considered the greatest football player of all time and one of the leading sportsmen in history. He won his seventh Super Bowl ring last season. As a result, this makes him the most decorated player in the National Football League (NFL) history.
Hence, the card changing hands for nearly $1.7 million wasn't a surprise considering Brady's position in the history of American sports entertainment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?
We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
